No matter what surname or family you are researching, whether you are a beginner or a veteran researcher, it is extremely important to have credible sources to back every fact you post online.. Sometimes it is valuable to pass along some facts you have found that can be used as clues, but make it very clear that these are undocumented facts. The further back we go the murkier the information can be and solid resources become essential. Good documentation will save all of us valuable research time.

Benjamin & Sarah Dumas Harris were Quakers. I told everyone that I needed to take a break and gather more evidence to prove the line of Ben & Sarah further on down this particular line. Suddenly, there is an absolute storm of information regarding MANY different Harris lines, and none of them appear to have any close relationship to the lines of either my Robert or his brother Benjamin (as far as I can tell...) So I believe that I will be taking a break from this family research, as I think my documentation may get lost in all this messy and very unclear Harris family research. When I do have new research on the line of Benjamin & Sarah Dumas Harris and their descendants, perhaps I will post it. What has happened to this country, that the entire public seems to now have such a very short attention span? I think that this is the result of the Internet: too much information, too fast, constantly- bombarding us all. Our population is getting less-intelligent very quickly. As a Librarian, I see this truth every day.
